Unable to Live Without Chocolate or Coffee Posts: 1849	My 3 yr old is out on pasture with another gelding. I am not able to ride him this year, so he's been just enjoying being a horse since about may. Last night I noticed his hind fetlocks mainly the left was slightly swollen (maybe that's what they call stocked up?). The only thing I have on hand is sore no more gel, so I rubbed that all over and no foam - so no heat? right? Am I doing right my applying sore no more? or should I try to get something else and use on it? Its hot out about 100 degrees, we've had a good 2 weeks of heat and humity so the horses stand around all day and then they run and buck and play at night or in the early mornings. Maybe he twisted somthing? He doesn't seem lame and doesn't have a history or lameness.

I have 2 right now really bad from it, we didn't put our hay up and with this heavy dew, it stays int he grass and gets poisonous on their legs. Feel arround on them and see if they have any little scabby or rough spots. Preperation H ointment is the best for it.

They get as much hay as they want but they still go out and graze; what they can find to eat i don't know lol. as of last night swelling is better but still there. still no foam with the sore no more, so no heat. no signs of lameness that I can tell... strange, sure could be from a weed or who knows, there are pine, oak and fir trees out there too.
